Looks like we've missed out on Lewis

[Mr_Raditch]

Hearing rumours on the radio that Lewis has signed a 4 yr deal with the Sharks. Will be announced later today.

 

[The Gambler]

Yeh hearing the same thing from all angles.

Would have been nice to jag him.

 

[Fordy20]

Throw the Lewis money at Pearce.

I agree !!! It would of been great to get Lewis but i think we need a decent halfback more.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Pearce is f**king shit.

I like Lewis but I'm glad we didn't pay overs for him.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

Thank f**k we missed him.
f**k me what an overhyped player (for what he is)
Rich man's Nigel Plum

 

[N.C.]

Thank you Sharks.

This,we need a 7 more than anything,and Benji is not and never will be a 7,he plays a whole different game at 7,for starters he never runs the ball which is his strength,damn you Sheens.:x

 

[DanOz]

Any halfback. Chad Townsend will do ffs. How is Miller going in lowers?

I dont think Pearce would be a right fit for a WT under Sheens. As I understand it, Pearce wants to leave Roosters if Smith continues there as he wants to develop his game and he feels SMith will genius that. Well, what is the one psition wihtin WT that had shown a continual disregard and lack of value under Sheens? Yep, halfback. So why the heck would Pearce even contemplate coming to WT to develop his halfback skills?

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Can't help feel we've dodged a bullet with Lewis.
He's no better than a Mannering or Jeremy Smith, IMO, but twice the price.

Happy to chase Pearce but no more than 350K

 

[benched tiger]

Pearce is an average half-back, i dont think that he would of any great benefit to our side as Benji and Farrah call the shots anyway.

I just want someone with the ability to lead the side for short or long periods to take the pressure off Benji and Robbie when necessary.

Most halfbacks can't do that.

I think/hope Pearce can do that and give us some kind of rudder.

I don't think he's a worldbeater, but he should have the confidence to take control of a side by now and we might get the best years out of him.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

True, but he doesn't. His kicking game particularly average.

We don't need a world beater with Farah and Marshall here, but we also don't need to pay overs for someone like Pearce, who IMO is not worth 1 cent over 200K.

Yep.

 

[Tigers Tale]

I am not too concerned we have missed Lewis but I still see it as a snub. I think he sees the Sharks as a team on the rise and us at team on the decline. Not even the opportunity to play under the Australian coach...we might be on the nose attracting big players at the moment.

 

[R2Coupe]

The money is better spent on retaining our talent. We have plenty of it and our halves pairing of Brooks and Moses are outstanding. Good luck to Lewis as it will probably be his final contract.

 

[Pistol_Pete]

John Morris is off contract.
We could resign our Cooper Cronk to be Cronk Mark II

Sheens would sign him to be 'our Gareth Ellis'.

 

[ed612313]

All good...... We have Pettybourne instead!!!!! He'll replace Ellis... ha
Fact is Tigers are going backwards.... The fact a player of Lewis class chose to sign with the Sharks over us shows the directions we are heading.
